Jon Favreau's All-New Big-Screen Adventure #TheLionKing Roars To Life With All-Star Cast!!!
BURBANK, Calif. (Nov. 1, 2017) – The all-star lineup for director Jon Favreau's new take on Disney's 1994 classic animated film "The Lion King" includes stars from the film, TV, theater and music arenas. Featuring pioneering filmmaking techniques, the film welcomes back to the big screen iconic characters that audiences have long treasured—but in a whole new way. From Disney Live Action, "The Lion King" is slated for U.S. theaters on July 19, 2019.
"It is a director's dream to assemble a talented team like this to bring this classic story to life," said Favreau.
Lions rule the African savanna in "The Lion King," which welcomes Donald Glover ("Atlanta," "Solo: A Star Wars Story") as future king Simba, Beyoncé Knowles-Carter ("Dreamgirls," "Lemonade" visual album) as Simba's friend-turned-love interest Nala, and James Earl Jones ("Rogue One: A Star Wars Story," "Field of Dreams") as Simba's wise and loving father, Mufasa, reprising his iconic performance from Disney's 1994 animated classic. Chiwetel Ejiofor ("Twelve Years a Slave," Marvel Studios' "Doctor Strange") was called on to portray Simba's villainous uncle Scar, and Alfre Woodard ("Juanita," Marvel's "Luke Cage") portrays Simba's no-nonsense mother, Sarabi. JD McCrary (OWN's "Tyler Perry's The Paynes," Apple's "Vital Signs") fills the shoes of Young Simba, a confident cub who can't wait to be king, and Shahadi Wright Joseph (NBC's "Hairspray Live," Broadway's "The Lion King") brings tough cub Young Nala to life.
Every kingdom comes with a trustworthy advisor or two. John Kani ("Coriolanus," Marvel Studios' "Captain America: Civil War") was cast as the wise baboon Rafiki, and John Oliver (HBO's "Last Week Tonight with John Oliver," Comedy Central's "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart") was tapped as hornbill Zazu, Mufasa's loyal confidant. When Simba goes into exile, he relies on two newfound friends—Seth Rogen ("Sausage Party," "Neighbors") lends his comedic chops to naïve warthog Pumbaa, and Billy Eichner ("Billy on the Street," FX's "American Horror Story") joins the cast as know-it-all meerkat Timon.
While most of the animals in the kingdom respect the king, the hyenas have other plans. Florence Kasumba (NBC's "Emerald City," Marvel Studios' "Black Panther") portrays Shenzi, Eric André (Adult Swim's "The Eric André Show," FXX's "Man Seeking Woman") is Azizi, and Keegan-Michael Key ("Predator," Netflix's "Friends from College") plays Kamari.
"The Lion King" is directed by Favreau ("The Jungle Book," Marvel Studios' "Iron Man") and produced by Favreau, Jeffrey Silver ("Beauty and the Beast," "Edge of Tomorrow") and Karen Gilchrist ("The Jungle Book," "Chef"). Jeff Nathanson ("Catch Me If You Can," "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales") penned the screenplay based on the 1994 screenplay by Irene Mecchi, Jonathan Roberts and Linda Woolverton. Tom Peitzman (co-producer "Kong: Skull Island," "Alice in Wonderland") and Thomas Schumacher ("The Lion King," "Beauty and the Beast") are executive producers, and John Bartnicki ("The Jungle Book," "Chef") is co-producer. The award-winning team of artists tapped to bring the African savanna and its animal inhabitants to life include visual effects supervisor Rob Legato, who conceived the virtual production on "Avatar," won Academy Awards® for his work on "The Jungle Book," "Hugo" and "Titanic," and was nominated for an Oscar® for his work on "Apollo 13."
The film's animation supervisor is Oscar®-winner Andrew R. Jones ("The Jungle Book," "Avatar," "World War Z"). VFX supervisor is Adam Valdez ("The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring," "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers"), who won an Oscar for his work on "The Jungle Book." Five-time Oscar nominee Caleb Deschanel, ASC, ("Jack Reacher," "The Patriot"), is director of photography, and James Chinlund ("War for the Planet of the Apes," "Marvel's The Avengers") serves as the production designer. Oscar winner Ben Grossman ("Alice in Wonderland," "Hugo," "Star Trek into Darkness") is virtual production supervisor, and Mark Livolsi, ACE, ("The Jungle Book," "Saving Mr. Banks," "The Blind Side") and Adam Gerstel ("Transformers: The Last Knight," "The Jungle Book") are editors. Hans Zimmer ("Dunkirk," "Hidden Figures"), who won an Oscar for his score for the animated classic, will score the adventure.
ABOUT THE MOVIE:
From Disney Live Action, director Jon Favreau's all-new "The Lion King" journeys to the African savanna where a future king is born. Simba idolizes his father, King Mufasa, and takes to heart his own royal destiny. But not everyone in the kingdom celebrates the new cub's arrival. Scar, Mufasa's brother—and former heir to the throne—has plans of his own. The battle for Pride Rock is ravaged with betrayal, tragedy and drama, ultimately resulting in Simba's exile. With help from a curious pair of newfound friends, Simba will have to figure out how to grow up and take back what is rightfully his. The all-star cast includes Donald Glover as Simba, Beyoncé Knowles-Carter as Nala, Chiwetel Ejiofor as Scar, James Earl Jones as Mufasa, Billy Eichner as Timon and Seth Rogen as Pumbaa. Utilizing pioneering filmmaking techniques to bring treasured characters to life in a whole new way, "The Lion King" roars into theaters on July 19, 2019.

Hashtag: #NewsiesForever
A musical based on the New York City newsboy strike of 1899. When young newspaper sellers are exploited beyond reason by their bosses they set out to enact change and are met by the ruthlessness of big business.

They’re joined by North American Tour stars Steve Blanchard as “Joseph Pulitzer,” and Aisha de Haas as “Medda Larkin,” and Ethan Steiner as “Les” along with members of both the Broadway and North American Tour ensembles, filling the stage with more “newsies” and more dancing than ever before.
Set in New York City at the turn of the century and based on a true story, Newsies is the rousing tale of Jack Kelly, a charismatic newsboy and leader of a ragged band of teenaged ‘newsies,’ who dreams only of a better life far from the hardship of the streets. But when publishing titans Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst raise distribution prices at the newsboys’ expense, Jack finds a cause to fight for and rallies newsies from across the city to strike and take a stand for what’s right.

A girl named Sophie encounters the Big Friendly Giant who, despite his intimidating appearance, turns out to be a kindhearted soul who is considered an outcast by the other giants because unlike his peers refuses to eat boys and girls.
In case you missed it, there is a new trailer and poster for THE BFG! The film, which is directed by Steven Spielberg and based on the best-selling book by Roald Dahl, hits theaters everywhere on July 1st!
Disney's The BFG comes to theaters July 1, 2016!
The talents of three of the world’s greatest storytellers – Roald Dahl, Walt Disney and Steven Spielberg –finally unite to bring Dahl’s beloved classic “The BFG” to life. Directed by Spielberg, Disney’s “The BFG” tells the imaginative story of a young girl and the Giant who introduces her to the wonders and perils of Giant Country.
The BFG (Mark Rylance), while a giant himself, is a Big Friendly Giant and nothing like the other inhabitants of Giant Country. Standing 24-feet tall with enormous ears and a keen sense of smell, he is endearingly dim-witted and keeps to himself for the most part. Giants like Bloodbottler (Bill Hader) and Fleshlumpeater (Jemaine Clement) on the other hand, are twice as big and at least twice as scary and have been known to eat humans, while the BFG prefers Snozzcumber and Frobscottle. Upon her arrival in Giant Country, Sophie, a precocious 10-year-old girl from London, is initially frightened of the mysterious giant who has brought her to his cave, but soon comes to realize that the BFG is actually quite gentle and charming, and, having never met a giant before, has many questions.
The BFG brings Sophie to Dream Country where he collects dreams and sends them to children, teaching her all about the magic and mystery of dreams. Having both been on their own in the world up until now, their affection for one another quickly grows, but Sophie’s presence in Giant Country has attracted the unwanted attention of the other giants, who have become increasingly more bothersome. Sophie and the BFG soon depart for London to see the Queen (Penelope Wilton) and warn her of the precarious giant situation, but they must first convince the Queen and her maid, Mary (Rebecca Hall), that giants do indeed exist. Together, they come up with a plan to get rid of the giants once and for all.

As we settle from our trip to Chicago, we want to make sure you all didn't miss P!nk’s brand new music video for "Just Like Fire” from Disney’s ALICE THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS! So in case you missed this epic video, watch below
I adore Pink's music but this one is by far my favorite! Take a look at some of her themed photo-shoot. I think our next Bookish Party should be Alice themed because Pink makes it look stunning!

Political interference in the Avengers' activities causes a rift between former allies Captain America and Iron Man.
Marvel’s CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR is now playing in theatres everywhere! Trust me, you don't want to miss out on this one. With great characters, actions, comics and Black Panther (super excited to dive into his world), you really need to watch it this weekend.
In celebration of CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR opening, we wanted to share this epic video Disney has shared with us. This video highlights the female stars in the film including Scarlett Johansson (“Natasha Romanoff / Black Widow”), Emily VanCamp (“Sharon Carter / Agent 13”), and Elizabeth Olsen (“Wanda Maximoff / Scarlet Witch”)!
Here are some fun facts:
On June 18, 2015, on the backlot of Pinewood Atlanta Studios, the first scenes of the historic Civil War mash-up began shooting, pitting the Avengers against each other with teams led by Captain America and Tony Stark. Filmmakers nick-named the classic battle the “Splash Panel,” because it was like a double-panel illustration in a comic book. The “Splash Panel” is one of Marvel’s most epic scenes with the most interaction ever seen in a Marvel film. The sequence was shot on IMAX cameras to give fans an unforgettable immersive experience.
The film also features one of the most advanced automobiles in the world, which T’Challa/Black Panther drives. The filmmakers turned to Audi, who provided the production with their newest hi-tech concept car for the shoot. The stunning car has all the newest technology that Audi has but it has never been put into production. Keep an eye out for it in the movie—you won’t see it anywhere else.
A new Super Hero is introduced to the Marvel Cinematic Universe in “Captain America: Civil War”—T’Challa, the Black Panther, played by Chadwick Boseman. The highly anticipated character comes in not agreeing with either side in the Civil War because he has his own agenda. Black Panther will feature in his own standalone film in 2018.
Disneynature’s new True Life Adventure film “Born in China" to Benefit World Wildlife Fund!
Set in Wilds of China, New Disneynature Film Opens in U.S. Theaters Earth Day 2017
Moviegoers who see Disneynature’s new True Life Adventure film “Born in China” during its opening week in Spring 2017 will benefit World Wildlife Fund (WWF). Based on opening-week attendance, Disneynature, via the Disney Worldwide Conservation Fund, will make a contribution to WWF to help protect wild pandas and snow leopards in China.
A new trailer featuring breathtaking footage from the film is now available.
Directed by Chinese filmmaker Lu Chuan, Disneynature’s “Born in China” follows the stories of three animal families, transporting audiences to some of the most extreme environments on Earth to witness some of the most intimate moments ever captured in a nature film. A doting panda bear mother guides her growing baby as she begins to explore and seek independence. A two-year-old golden monkey who feels displaced by his new baby sister joins up with a group of free-spirited outcasts. And a mother snow leopard—an elusive animal rarely caught on camera—faces the very real drama of raising her two cubs in one of the harshest and most unforgiving environments on the planet. Featuring stunning, never-before-seen imagery captured in the remote wilds of China, the film is produced by Disney’s Roy Conli and premiere nature filmmakers Brian Leith and Phil Chapman.
Disneynature’s commitment to conservation is a key pillar of the label and the films empower the audience to help make a difference. Through donations tied to opening-week attendance, Disneynature, through the Disney Worldwide Conservation Fund, has contributed to a host of conservation initiatives. Efforts include planting three million trees in Brazil’s Atlantic Forest, established 40,000 acres of marine protected area in The Bahamas, protected 65,000 acres of savanna in Kenya, protected nearly 130,000 acres of wild chimpanzee habitat, cared for chimpanzees and educated 60,000 school children about chimpanzee conservation. Additionally, efforts have funded research and restoration grants in U.S. National Parks, supporting conservation projects spanning 400,000 acres of parkland and protecting over 75 species of animals and plants, and helped protect monkeys and other endangered species in their natural habitats across Indonesia, Cambodia and Sri Lanka.
“Born in China” opens in U.S. theaters Earth Day 2017.
